In Memory of My Brother Dublin

About Me

Hi! I'm a Black Lab / Newf mix named Randi Sue, but you can call me Randi...I'm 9 years old & my burpday is 12-30-1999. I've lost 35 pounds over the last two & a half years & have kept it off! I now weigh in at a very sleek 85 pounds. My littermate brother, Dublin, passed over to Rainbow Bridge on March 29, 2007 & I'm still a bit lonely - so visit me when you can & keep me company! WOOF!

What I Want for Christmas...by Randi

The Wake n' Bacon is a collaborative alarm clock design by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini and Hsiao-huh Hsu. It wakes you up with the delicious scent of bacon instead of beeping. How?A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

That's all I want Santa...& world peace...& bully sticks to rain from the sky...I've been a very good pup this year...Love, Randi

Contrary to what some people (my peoples) have been telling...your two front teeth is a perfectly acceptable gift to ask Santa for... I guess there's some silly song about it...my mom/secretary has been singing it to me...I wonder if there is a song for my Wake 'N Bacon alarm clock...? Anyway...Here is a blooper pic from a photo session for my holiday card...I scrapped the whole set...

First off, your mama is TWISTED! Did she make you get your 2 front teefies bonded? Or, did she make you get hillbilly teef implants? (My girl is going to print that photo of you & hang it in her office ~ you CRACKED her up BIG TIME!)

I personally like your out take photo from your Christmas card photo session. (Was that a real bone?)

As for the Wakin' Bacon, I say sign us all up for that one! Those guys who invented it completely ROCK!
